1. Very disappointed at the removal of some of the Trial Stages (form the PC version). In the PSN version, there were only 8 trial levels, but there were around 12-15 for the PC version. Why not include them all?

2. Hustle mode starts off really slow. Once you get to the last 10 levels, the fun factor picks up greatly, but then leaves you wanting more. The levels just don’t feel that challenging until you get to the last few and then you’re left hanging.

3. Extremely disappointed that the variou multiplayer modes were gimped out. You cannot do multiplayer with the original trial versions, although you could in the PC version. You also can’t play all 33 Hustle levels in multiplayer. For some reason, there are only about 10 Hustle levels available for multiplayer. Seems pretty shameless to do this, when you’re just copying the levels over to a different game mode. Why not include all of them??

4. Sumo mode is useless. Fun for less than 3 minutes, but that’s about it. When you have games like Mario Kart (battle mode), you don’t really need something like Sumo mode, which is a de-evolved version of similar games (Mario Kart, Mario Party, etc.).

Your GF will love it but be warned, you may become addicted too. We didn’t make this one for kids and casual gamers. It’s for CORE players and if the casuals like it too, more the better but don’t expect them to finish the game. ;)

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:53:33 +0000http://blog.us.playstation.com/?p=26431#comment-372061There are different camera modes for different modes. Hustle mode is a 3rd-person camera with essentially 1st-person shooter controls. The RAS allows you to adjust the view more to your liking. SUMO, STUNT and TRIAL modes use a removed camera at varying distaces.

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:46:43 +0000http://blog.us.playstation.com/?p=26431#comment-372048Thanks for the suggestion on target mode. We have a DLC plan in the works now. I will discuss it with the team.
Yep, local multiplayer is supported; SUMO up to 7 players, and 2-playr split-screen racing.
